Nope, I haven't touched it in a while... lost motivation.... But, I kinda got a little back today... the motor is being put together tomorrow night... and the steering in the next 2-3 weeks. should but all ready to go in little bit.

 

Are you building the motor yourself?

 

yep, wouldn't do it any other way

 

Just read the entire build thread. Nice work!

 

one day nice build!

 

Pulling any extra power out of the 4.0?

 

Thanks, it has been none stop! lol (until recently when I decided I wasn't going to work on it and take a break)

Thanks! She is getting it done for me!

Yeppers! stroking it to a 4.6L raising the compression and some bolt on stuff

 

SWEET wanna do mine next ha ha just messing

 

Subscribed. I want to see how this stroker comes out since I'm planning on doing one as well.

 

Haha, I love putting motors together. its a relaxing process for me lol

Right on! should be good, I am in the process of buying a house... so once the crazyness is over I'll drop it in

 

hey tristin one thing i was thinking about last night was everyone i know thus far that has done a stroker has had cooling issues right off the bat. have you addressed that issue or just gonna wait and see what happens? i know roughly 8 people that have done it and 7 have had cooling issues. now they did solve it with bigger radiator and the triple threat fan setup like i'm running.

 

What would be a fix before it goes together bore water jackets ?

 

High flow water pump helps as well

 

I have been nervous about that, but I am ready to put up a fight to keep it cool. Right now I have a 3 row brass radiator, I am going to either do hood vents or a cowl hood which should help... With the stroker its getting a high flow water pump, t/stat, t/stat housing, I am also going to run Royal purple ice hoping it helps (but I don't believe in additives LOL)

I am also going to run a Volvo cooler neck and run the electric fan on at 180*+ rather then the stock 210 BS lol If that doesn't work then I will probably run the "triple threat setup" although I don't want to fork out the money just yet as I have read some bad things about it lol

 

I think the main problem is flow from the pump and surface area of the radiator. the radiator is tiny lol
